Next we headed over to The Land to ride something that would be a first for all of us! Don't judge. We could never get a FP in 2012. That's right, we were headed here!
David Putty gave us the spiel. On a recommendation from The Dis's own nilla, we requested row B1. We figured if we were going to do this thing, we might as well do it right! We didn't even have to wait any longer. They just put us right in. Maura was a little apprehensive at first because she couldn't figure out how it was going to work. But soon, we were Soarin' over California!
What did we think? We loved it. LOVED. It totally lived up to all the hype. And yes, row B1 was amazing. The smells. The sights! I hate flying, but I love this ride. It's certainly a must do for us from now on. Maura and Lucy kept trying to move their feet to touch the trees and water and other scenery. It was fun to watch them do that!
After coming off that exhilaration, we headed back out into the heat. We ended up over near the Imagination pavillion. We didn't go on the ride. Why? Don't ask me why. I don't know. The kids got side tracked by the fountains over there and had a blast playing in them for a while. I took advantage of the situation to rest my blisters. They were getting better. Not as bad as yesterday, but not perfect yet.
Those fountains were fun! I think Jason had just as much fun with them as the girls did.
That's all I took at the fountains????? 2 lousy pictures????? Why do you people continue to read this. Why? I am so disappointed in myself. 2 pictures. I swear there were more.
The best thing about playing in the fountains? No one else was around! We had them to ourselves for like 15 minutes!
After getting sufficiently soaked, we moved on. And just look what we ran into! Club Cool! The kids were promised several varieties of soda! Of course they wanted to go in!!!!! They started trying the flavors, picking their favorites. Then Jason said "here, try this one, it's really yummy!"
They got Beverly'd! Hah! The told us it was disgusting and their least favorite. They tried them all, as did we. They decided except for the Beverly, it was fun. We'll get them again next time, I hope!
It was almost time for our next FP+, but what was right there? Starbucks? Starbucks you say? I think we need a snack! Now, I am in no way, shape, or form a coffee drinker. Blech. I have Diet Pepsi pulsing through my veins. But Jason can turn beastly if he doesn't get enough coffee.
He got his whatever drink, and the girls were introduced to the Creme Frapuccinos. Addicts now, I tell you. Whilst waiting for our drinks, there was a bean bag toss game going on, complete with stickers!
That CM got a thank you card!
And we were off to use our FP+ for the Character Spot. We didn't realize that they had downsized this meet and greet by 2 until we got inside. However, the 3 we did meet didn't disappoint!
First up was the main man himself.
Next up was the Goof!
I love this one!
